“Brother Xie, is there anything on your mind?”
Su Zimo asked.
Xie Qingcheng laughed bitterly. “Brother Su, you’re sharp and I can’t hide it from you. Indeed, I’ve come to look for you for help for something.”
“This was also what you wanted to say at the foot of Cangyun Mountain, right?”
Su Zimo smiled, not surprised.
At that time, beneath Cangyun Mountain, he promised Xie Qingcheng that he could look for him if anything happened in the future.
Xie Qingcheng was moved but hesitated.
After a year, Xie Qingcheng visited again. If Su Zimo was not wrong, this should be the matter that he did not say back then.
“Yes.”
Xie Qingcheng no longer hid anything and said in a deep voice, “Firstly, I didn’t say it back then because I had not made up my mind on whether I was going to participate in this matter. Secondly, this matter is way too dangerous and there’s a certain requirement for the combat strength of cultivators.”
“Brother Su, at that time, you had just exited seclusion and was a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal who wasn’t on the Heaven Ranking Prediction. I did not know much about your combat strength and thought that even if I invited you along, you might not be able to help. Instead, it might even be a burden for you…”
At that point, Xie Qingcheng smiled. “Later on, the battle of Absolute Thunder City spread through the entire Divine Firmament. That was when I found out about your capabilities, Brother Su.”
“What is it? Tell me about it, Brother Xie.”
Su Zimo asked.
Xie Qingcheng said, “Brother Su, you should know about Xie Tianhong of Spirit Cloud County. He died outside more than 2,000 years ago, but his corpse was never found.”
Su Zimo lamented internally, ‘Xie Tianhong was slapped to death by the Martial Dao Prime Body and his corpse is in Avici. Naturally, no one can find it.’
Xie Qingcheng continued, “Xie Tianhong was the Prince of Spirit Cloud County after all. Because his corpse has not been seen all these years, his previous position has always been empty.”
“Last year, father finally relented and decided to choose a new Prince of Spirit Cloud County from the various princes and princesses.”
There were more than a thousand ancient cities and tens of millions of kilometers of territory under the rule of Spirit Cloud County.
The Prince of Spirit Cloud County had torrential power and a noble status, far surpassing ordinary princes.
Now that this position was empty, it would naturally cause a fight between the royal family bloodlines of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.
Xie Qingcheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to miss this opportunity. I want to give it a shot!”
Su Zimo remained silent.
Previously, Xie Qingcheng was only an idle prince and was at the bottom of the royal bloodline. He was dispensable and did not have much of a presence.
However, that was also the reason why his situation was relatively peaceful.
If he were to participate in such a fight, his future would be filled with countless open and hidden strife!
A royal family from a place like the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom had many descendants. It was extremely difficult for anyone to stand out among the many princes and princesses!
“Have you decided?”
Su Zimo looked at Xie Qingcheng and asked solemnly.
Xie Qingcheng nodded and clenched his fists instinctively. “I want to become a prince who rules over a region and possesses power and status. That’s the only way I can clear my mother’s name!”
Su Zimo had once heard Princess Scarlet Rainbow mention unintentionally that Xie Qingcheng’s mother did not come from a good background.
Therefore, his status among the many princes and princesses was not high.
“Alright, I’ll help you.”
When Su Zimo saw that Xie Qingcheng had already decided, he agreed without hesitation.
“What are the requirements to be the Prince of Spirit Cloud County?”
Su Zimo asked again.
Xie Qingcheng said, “Father won’t let princes who have cultivated to the Perfected Immortal realm manage such a huge territory. It will cause them to be distracted and affect their cultivation.”
“In order words, as long as one is at the Heaven Immortal realm, they will be qualified to fight for the position of the Prince of Spirit Cloud County. However, their cultivation realms can’t be too low. Grade 1 or 2 Heaven Immortals will definitely not cut it.”
Su Zimo swept his spirit consciousness slightly and saw that Xie Qingcheng was a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal.
Xie Qingcheng laughed self-deprecatingly. “I’m just barely qualified.”
Su Zimo asked, “How are they going to choose the Prince of Spirit Cloud County this time round?”
“This time round, father placed the prince’s seal in an ancient ruin.”
Xie Qingcheng said, “Everyone participating in this fight can each lead a hundred Heaven Immortal experts into this ruin to snatch the prince’s seal.”
“We can select any hundred Heaven Immortals, they don’t have to be from the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.”
“Oh?”
When he heard that, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. “In that case, among the hundred Heaven Immortals, there will definitely be experts on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.”
“Exactly.”
Xie Qingcheng nodded. “From what I know, there are a few people in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction who are prepared to exit seclusion to help the other princes obtain the Spirit Cloud Seal.”
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
It was clear that there was another meaning to Immortal King Yan Yang’s arrangement.
What he valued was not only the personal strength of his descendants, but also their connections, networking and influence in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!
Xie Qingcheng said, “From what I know, the Heaven Ranking Prediction has already been announced. In the past year, many Heaven Immortal experts have appeared one after another, looking for opportunities to climb the Heaven Ranking Prediction.”
“The ancient ruin this time round is the best opportunity!”
“The fight for the seal in this ancient ruin will be the best chance for many Heaven Immortal experts to squeeze their way into the Heaven Ranking Prediction or refresh their current rankings.”
Su Zimo nodded and suddenly asked, “Will Yun Ting be there?”
“I don’t think so.”
Xie Qingcheng smiled bitterly. “If someone can invite Prince Yun Ting out of seclusion, there will probably be no doubt about the outcome of this fight for the Spirit Cloud Seal.”
Su Zimo nodded.
Right now, he was a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal. If he were to fight Yun Ting, his chances of winning were not high.
Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo asked again, “Right, where is the ancient ruin you mentioned earlier on?”
“It’s a fragment of an ancient battlefield.”
Xie Qingcheng explained, “Rumor has it that an unprecedented battle might have happened in an ancient era. The battlefield was extremely huge and the world was shattered.”
“This ancient ruin is one of the tiny fragments and is usually called the Asura Battlefield.”
“The Asura Battlefield?”
Su Zimo raised his brow slightly.
Xie Qingcheng nodded and continued, “Although it’s just a small fragment, there’s a universe within. Furthermore, there’s a strange blood qi in this battlefield that clearly suppresses the many divine powers and secret skills of cultivators!”
“Oh?”
Su Zimo was surprised and asked, “What sort of blood qi would have such an effect?”
“I’m not sure either.”
Xie Qingcheng said, “According to the information I obtained, this blood qi can seal the divine powers and secret skills of demon beasts.”
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
If it was as Xie Qingcheng had said, many of his trump cards would not be able to be released in the Asura Battlefield.
Xie Qingcheng continued, “As for why it’s called the Asura Battlefield, it’s because there are many Asura race beings in this battlefield that are half human, half god and extremely powerful!”
The Asura race!
This was an extremely mysterious race that possesses combat strength that’s not inferior to the God and Dragon races. Back in Asura Monastery of Great Tie Wei Mountain, the Martial Dao Prime Body suppressed one of them.
